Alpha Phi Omega, in con¬ 
junction with the American Red 
Cross, will sponsor the annual 
winter quarter blood drive from 12 
to 6 p.m. on Jan. 26 and 27 in the 
University Center Ballroom.

"All you can eat "spaghetti with 
a $3.60 price tag and entertain¬ 
ment by “The Amazing Jonathan” 
becomes the Student Govern¬ 
ment Associations first special 
winter attraction as it comes to 
UTM on Jan. 31. 

The meal will be served at 6 p.m. 
in the University Center Ballroom 
and will include spaghetti, salad 
and beverage. Students can pay for 
the meal with their food charge 
card, and the cards can be stamped 


Hypnotist Tom Deluca has two 
performances, the first at 8 p.m. and 
the second at midnight Deluca will 
use UTM students from the audience 
to practice his abilities on. 

Mountain Visions, the other 
featured attraction, also has two 
performances, at 10 p.m. and at 1 am. 
The presentation is a slide show which 
boasts a screen 12 yards wide and 16 
feet high. With the use of numerous 
projectors which gives the show a 3-d 
effect, outdoor scenes will appear 
before those watching. 

“We have seen a film of the 
hypnotist’s performance and he is 
great. He makes the hypnotised 
students do really wild things." said 
Niehaus. “I've also seen the Mountain 
Visions show. There are some 
beautiful scenes of the outdoors.” 

Another new attraction to the All- 
Niter is cartoon portraits. For $3. John 
Cassady. professor of military science. 


The competition will be divided 
into four categories, sorority, 
fraternity, dorm and non-greek 
organizations with a trophy going 
to the winner in each category. 
Winners shall be determined on 
the percent of members giving 
blood. 

Each person who gives blood 


at the information desk on 
on the day of the dinner. 

The same meal in the cafeteria 
costs only $1.89, but Dr. Watkins, 
vice-chancellor of student affairs, 
said that the difference is that the 
spaghetti supper is “all you can 
eat." 

SGA's Secretary of Commun¬ 
ications Reggie Williams said that 
$3 of the total admission price will 
be used to pay for the service as 
well as for the meal itself. The 
additional 60 cents will be used to 
pay for the entertainment. SGA 
will realize no profit. 


will do a caricature. The procea* takes 
five to seven minutes. 

There will be gymnastics 
demonstrations by the UTM 
Gymnastics Club, and a roping 
demonstration and clinic by the Rodeo 
team. 

ROTC will have ropes up for 
rappelling. Last year there was one 
rope and 80 different people got to 
rappel, but with the addition of one or 
two ropes, many more people will have 
the opportunity to participate. 

The Strategy Club will have a war 
games demonstration. 

There will be a raquetball 
tournament for those interested. This 
will be a bracketed single elimination 
tournament with separate male and 
female divisions. 

Putt-putt golf returns from last 
year. The object is to make a hole-in- 
ose and win a t-shirt. 

The Buddy Buster, where you hit a 


shall receive a free pass to “The 
Odyssey Cabaret and Restaurant” 
for the nights of Feb. 2, 4 and 5. 

According to Jim Ward, service 
director for A Phi O and blood 
drive chairman, the reason for the 
drive “is to try to help the Red 
Cross keep the supply of blood 
this area high.” 


“The Amazing Jonathan” is a 
combination comedian, juggler 
and magician. His performance is 
rated R. but Watkins commented, 
“I have seen him before, and I think 
that the R rating is because his 
humor is pitched at an adult level. 
Jonathan advertises that his theme 
is sex, drugs and rock and roll. 

Williams said that only 400 
tickets will be sold because of the 
limited space in the ballroom. 
Advance tickets will be sold at the 
information desk, but the date of 
ticket sales has not yet been 
decided. 


friend with padded poles, and the 
frisbee throw, which involves six 
throws for accuracy, are two other 
returning events. 

There will be a free throw contest for 
thoee people who want to prove their 
basketball abilities and a 16 minute 
run to see how much in shape, or out of 
shape, the runners are. 

Another event to show off physical 
ability is the wrist wrestling contest. 
There will be one women's division and 
two men’s divisions. 

The bedsheet volleyball tournament 
and the beer case stacking contest are 
two team events. Have a team ready to 
participate in these events. 

Scooter board races are new this 
year. Plans have not been finalized on 
what this competition involves. 

Football enthusiasts can participate 
in the punt, pass and kick contest. 
Accuracy with a Nerf football will be 
judged. 


“The goal of this quarter's drive 
is 200 pints of blood per day which, 
after processing in Paducah, 
Kentucky, will be targeted for this 
area, and Volunteer General 
Hospital in particular,” Ward 
emphasized. 

In the event that blood is needed 
because of an accident, the student 
is covered through his donation. 

The Martin area is part of the 
Nashville Regional Blood 
Program which involves parts of 
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri 
and Illinois and is responsible for 
the distribution of over 600 units of 
blood and blood products each day 
to over 100 area hospitals. 

In order to give blood, you must 
be at least 17 years old, weigh 110 
pounds and never have had 
hepatitis or a malignancy. 

“The donator should eat at least 
two hours before giving blood,” 
says Ward, “to lessen the 
possibility of unpleasant side- 
effects.”

SGA presents spaghetti supper 


The Co-Ree Rope Pull is a single 
elimination event. Each team is 
limited to 1000 lbs. weight On each 
team, the total number of women 
participants must be equal to or 
greater than the number of men. 

A basketball speed shooter contest 
will be held with the object of the 
contest to make as many baskets as 
possible in a one minute time period. 

Learn how to juggle at the juggling 
clinic, and how to square dance as 
Bettye Giles of the P.E. Department 
leads the square dancing. 

For those who enjoy playing 
badmitton or pickle ball, equipment 
and a court will be available at the All- 
Niter. 

One of the final events of the night is 
the tobacco spitting contest Only the 
Red Man Chewing Tobacco that is 
provided may be used and there will be 
a separate men’s and women’s division. 


All contest winners will receive t- 
shirts provided by Pabst and other 
prizes. 

“We are expecting another good 
turnout this year, possibly over 1000 
people," said Niehaus. “With the 
basketball game here Saturday night, 
there will be a lot of people staying on 
campus and I hope that they come 
Friday night to the All-Niter." 

“There is no way that it will be a 
success without a good turnout, if only 
to find out what is going on," said Jane 
Polansky, intramurals coordinator 

Polansky said that many people have 
helped plan the event and she would 
like to thank all of the workers and 
those who plan to attend. 

Campus Rec prefers that everyone 
wear gym shoes. No smoking or 
drinking will be allowed and the same 
rules apply to the All-Niter as they do 

to a concert

Mime trio ‘touches’ their UTM audience I 


By JIM BESHIRES 
Student Writer 


A delighted chuckle sneaks through 
the crowd. Two hundred people, 
including one hundred twenty UTM 
students, sit bolt upright and eagerly 
await the outcome of an odd 
interaction between two seven-foot 
faces. Some stand. The stage floor 
hasn't been lifted, so visibility suffers 
in the downstage area 

The audience was active during 
Tuesday’s performance, straining to 
see during one skit and relaxing 
happily during the next. The various 
skits were always fresh, never 
repetitious, from a pregnant man to a 
TV set babbling frighteningly 
realistic gibberish, to a school teacher 
whose world suddently dissolved 
before her very fingers. The audience 
didn’t mind standing through part of 
the show; they all stood up to slap when 
it ended. 

It was an excellent show, by an 
excellent group of professionals. They 
were called Touch, and that was what 
they did. The group’s knack of 
imtimately involving their audience 
enabled them to lead the way to a 
realm limited only by the imagination. 
The viewers desired more and more, 
like children at a fair, delighted at 
each new skit and feeling the loss when 
it ended. 

Touch appeared at the Harriet 
Fulton Performing Arts Theater, 
sponsored by the UTM Arts Council, 
and funded through the Office of 


Student Affairs. The idea was brought 
forward at an Arte Council meeting, 
according to David Belote. assistant 
director of Campus Recreation. 


Dr. Allison Nelson presented the 
idea. “This year Touch is sponsored by 
the Southern LArts Federation, which 
is a branch of the National 


Endowment for the Arts,” she said 
The SFA assisted with the funding. 
Dr. Nelson had read of the group in 
SFA literature. ‘The Arts Council 


Touch, a mime trio entertains the lunchtime cafeteria crowd with their intricate skits and spontaneous reactions. 


wants to find groups that are fine art 
and still appeal to students." 

The mime trio is an affiliate of The 
Art School in Carrboro. North 
Carolina. They have toured in thirteen 
states and have appeared in prisons, 
-afes, churches and theatres. They 
started in 1976. 

“The original intention behind the 
name 'Touch' was that we thought we 
could actually touch the audience in 
ways TV couldn't. Mime is nonverbal; 
its appeal is drectly to the feelings." 
said Sheila Kerrigan, the female 
member of the troupe. Sheila is a 
suburban New Yorker and has a B.A. 
in English Literature from 
Bennington College. In addition to 
studying mime, she has had eight 
years of classical dancing and one year 
of acting. She began to study mime in 
1971, and has studied under C.W. 
Metcalf and Tony Montanaro. 

Ed Damron, of Sumter, South 
Carolina, has been studying mime 
since the ninth grade, and acting since 
1980. His first teacher was Yass 
Hakoshima, who gave a performance 
and workshop in Ed's hometown. 
Since then Ed has also studied under 
Pat Sciarratta, Reid Gilbert, Tom 
Leabhart, Andrew Levitt and with 
Warsaw Mime. Ed creates the masks 
and props for the group; he has a 
degree in Drama. 

The third member of the trip is Jef, 
born in Cleveland. Jef abandoned 
studies In forestry to take mime under 
C.W. Metcalf in Tallahassee in 1975. 

.tki a aim 


studied classical renaissance dance as 
well as ballet. He also juggles and rides 
a unicycle. 

The group is a democracy. No one is 
in charge in the sense of being boss or 
director. Watching the intricate 
interplay of one of their skits, one 
marvels that it all stems from the 
spontaneous reactions of the artists, 
yet part of the performance is the 
creation of a piece based on audience 
suggestions. 

Earlier in the afternoon, the group 
gave a lecture-demonstration to UTM 
dance and acting students as well as 
visitors from Westview High School 
and Martin Elementary. The lecture 
covered the basics of what mime is and 
moved rapidly through simple 
exercises to develop a skit. The 
students saw the directorless plot 
coagulate into something perform- 
able. 

Though they all love their life, they 
all admit it isn't easy. They tour nine 
months out of the year and go different 
places to study in the summer. They 
frequently tire of traveling and the 
strain it puts on them. Next to the 
constant travel, the hardest part of 
their lives is remembering the way to 
the bathroom in a new hotel. 

Unlike most mime groups, Touch 
doesn’t wear clown-face. Unlike most 
mime groups. Touch sometimes uses 
sound in their routines. Unlike most 
groups on most stages. Touch loses the 
audience in the feeling of being 
performed with, rather than 
performed to. Their performance was 
utterly (are you ready?) touching

The Vacer Cditorial 


Look Out UT, 
We’re Coming Up! 

The Tennessee Higher Education Commission may think we’re No. 2. but 
to UTM students, staff and alumni, “the campus that cares” is definitely 
numero uno. According to a questionnaire given recent graduates 
regarding their alma mater (the Services Satisfaction Input), UTM grads 
declared with little doubt that they loved their years at UTM and would not 
dream of going elsewhere should they have it to do over again. Of course, 
that's no surprise to us. 

Almost a shock, however, is the fact that little ol’ UTM outranked 
Memphis State, MTSU, UT-Chattanooga-why, all the state institutions 
except the majordomo itself. And that’s a second place to be proud of. But 
how, you might ask, did UTM do it? Glad you asked. After careful 
consideration, the reasons are obvious and a’plenty: 

First and foremost, UTM truly is “the campus that cares.” Students, 
faculty and all others connected with the university have earned UTM a 
well-deserved niche in the state's academic program. Everybody believes 
in it, too. UTM is small enough to afford giving individual attention to those 
who so desire it, yet large enough to satisfy the adventurous student not 
content with a mere “one-horse show.” Also, the campus has built quite a 
rapport with the Martin community, which further serves to create 
excellent surroundings. 

UTM’s academic quality, however, is not to go unnoticed. The Martin 
campus places an emphasis on attracting higher quality students, as 
evidenced by programs such as the Academic Scholars and other honors 
programs. The incentive to excell is bolstered through involvement in 
academic clubs in a student's major curriculum. And since most classes are 
small, an instructor can spend extra time tutoring those students who 
would benefit from the added help. The result of such specialized care is 
greater progress for the students, and greater academic quality for the 
university as a whole. To attest to this is the fact that UTM is among the four 
major schools whose students are admitted to medical programs at the UT 
Center for the Health Sciences in Memphis. That may not sound like an 
unusual feat, but you must take into consideration the size of the 
institutions against which UTM competes--UT, Vanderbilt and Memphis 
State. Fifty-nine of UTM’s spring graduates were admitted to UTCHS, and 
top administrators have been told that UTM had the greatest number of 
such admissions. And although those admitted to pharmacy schools were 
said to be merely representative of admissions, UTM is said to have been 
dominant in that area as well. Surely that has to tell you something. 

Another point in UTM’s favor is the low freshman turnover rate. The last 
comparison made (1978-79) showed that for each 100 entering freshmen, 65 
returned to register fall quarter of the following year. So the retention rate 
was approximately 65%, an excellent number considering the national 
average-50% to 55%. UTM freshmen obviously like UTM. It’s little wonder, 
too. After all, the Martin campus engages its freshmen in activity right 
from the start, with Freshmen Studies Week, PEP, freshmen counseling, 
and an excellent residence hall program. Freshmen return as sophomores, 
sophomores as juniors, juniors as seniors and seniors as happy alumni. 

UTM combines the best academic program possible with a small- 
comniuriity atmosphere, adds a touch of genuine concern and a dash of just 
the right athletics, mixes in students, faculty and administration, and 
emerges as Tennessee’s second-ranked university. Not bad for a small 
campus in the northwestern corner of the state. The only way to go is up!

1982...The Rest of the Best 


TPreferable Picks 

,1982 has already gone on record as 
the most financially successful year for 
movies ever. And, beyond that, the 
movies that helped make it such a good 
year were also, by and large, critical 
successes as well. So to cap off the year, 
and to get ready for this year's Oscar 
awards, here is my list of 1982's ten 
best films, and a brief reason why I 
chose them. 

1) FT The Extra-Terrestrial !— 
Despite the merchandising, th|s 
remains aheartfelt paean in friendship"' 
by the best director to ever touch a 
movie camera. 


2) Blade Runner—The first pure 
science-fiction film in a long time, 
Ridely Scott’s futuristic detective 
thriller goes beyond action into the 
heart and soul of what makes someone 
human. 

3) Tootsie —Dustin Hoffman lights 
up the screen in this screwball comedy 
that gives us wonderful characters as 
well as constant laughs. 

4) An Officer and a Gentleman— The 
performances by a marvelous and 
lalehted cast save th is rather Contrived 
romance from maudlinism, and 
produce real emotional feelings from 
the audience. A definite winner. 


5) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan- 
In the wake of the disastrous first 
movie, this compelling space drama 
gives us all the action, humanity and 
humor of the classic TV series. One of 
the best science-fiction movies ever. 

6) Rocky III— Sure, it’s unsophis¬ 
ticated and obvious, but the sheer 
energy that Stallone brings to the film 
makes it a rousing movie experience. 

7) Creepshoxv —Class horror act that 
Is both scary and hilarious, the two 
major components of a good spine- 
chiller. 

8) Poltergeist— A horror film, unlike 
Creepshou >, for the whole family. Not 


By Jdlex Bledsoe 

really that scary, but the warmth and 
satire make it worth the ticket price. 

9) The Road Warrior—Mad Max 
sequel that zips along faster than a 
speeding bullet with action galore. The 
ultimate car-crash movie. 

10) i8 Hours —Nick Nolteand Eddie 
Murphy team up to find some killers in 
Walter Hill’s fast, funny and action- 
packed buddy movie. 

These are my picks, but well have to 
see what the Academy chibses. Whdn 
those awards roll around, we'll find out 
who impressed the judges the most 
Until then, keep watching.

ATTENTION: To all UTM 
Students, this will be the last weekyou 
can drop a class and receive a W. This 
is the second quarter we have been 
under this new rule, which was passed 
by the Academic Senate. The rule 
states that we must make a decision 
within three weeks instead of the 
allotted five weeks. So you should 
consider this if you are taking too 
many hours or are in a class that might - 
present too much of a burden to you. 
That drop date and time will be Jan. 24 
at 5 p.m. 

This weekend our 1983 Miss UTM 
will be crowned before a two-night 
sell-out crowd in the Fine Arts 
Auditorium. The theme for this year 
will be “On Broadway,” sung by the 
popular jazz artist George Benson. 
Also this weekend another block¬ 
buster movie, “Chariots of Fire," will 
be shown Sunday in the U.C. 
Ballroom. 

The Second Spirit Competition got 
off to a great start. The crowd was so 
excited the Pacer basketball team 
almost struck the century mark again. 


thus winning their first Gulf South 
Conference game. After Saturday 
night, the Pacers are 10-0 at home and 
averaging about 95 points per game. 
They have won 18 consecutive home 
games. All we need to do now is win a 
few On the road. We are behind you! 
The Lady Pacers have already won 
more games this year than they did 
last year, and with a month to go their 
goals are unbelievable. 

An announcement to all UTM pre¬ 
law students-for those wishing to 
enter law school in the fall of 1983 you 
must register by 5 p.m. today. The 
LSAT test will be administered Feb. 
19. Also, a pre-law information booklet 
was given out but not enough to meet 
the demand. The booklet contains the 
latest requirements at area law schools 
and comments by alumni who 
graduated from those prospective 
universities. Additional booklets 
might be in the Political Science 
Division Office. I also have a copy in 
my office.

Amazing Johnathan/Spaghetti 
Supper on the 31st. 

As most of you have probably 
realized, UT Martin’s Student 
Government Association has gotten a 
crop of Academy-Winners this quarter 
for movie-viewers to see on Sundays. 
For your entertainments, here is a list 
of the movies that will be shown this 
quarter: 

1/23 Chariots of Fire 
1/30 Cat People 
2/6 Heavy Metal 

2/13 The World According to Garp 
2/20 Conan the Barbarian 
2/27 Raiders of the Lost Ark 
3/6 Monty Pythons' Life of Brian 

We have got to keep in mind that it 
costs money to get quality movies here 
on our campus, so let’s take advantage 
of our cheap price of $1 instead of the 
regular $3 to $4 movies. 

My thought for the week: Children, 
like canoes, go in the right direction 
when they are paddled from the rear.

Deltas’ Banquet 
Draws Rave Reviews 


Dear Editor: 

Last Saturday I had the pleasure ol 
attending the National Founders’ Day 
Celebration of the Eta Xi Chapter of 
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. The 
program, entitled “Deltas Impact on 
the Eighties: Prepare Today to Shape 
Tomorrow,” was well-planned and 
beautifully executed. The perfor¬ 
mances by the United Collegiate Choir 
and the Choir’s ensemble were 
outstanding. The major address by Dr. 
Yvonne Kennedy, Alabama State 
Representative and President of 


Bishop State Junior College, was 
inspiring. Her theme was excellence, 
and her emphasis was on higher 
education. Near the end of the 
program, Triniere Morgan mentioned 
the many Delta "firsts” at UTM. The 
list wad as impressive as the program. 
I want to congratulate the members of 
the Eta Xi Chapter for their fine 
program and for their contributions to 
UTM. 

Sincerely, 

Ronald N. Satz, Dean

After several hours of steadv work 
and a concerted effort on everyone’s 
part to make the German meal, 
including cutting, slicing and dicing 
vegetables, liver and sauteeing meat 


the moment of truth had arrived 
sometime around 11 that night. By 
then the group had developed such an 
appetite that, beyond all doubt, 
anything would have lasted heavenly. 
We were not disappointed! The food 
would have been exceptionally tasty 
even after being stuffed with pizza for 
30 minutes. 

Surrounded by an emmaculate 
German table with traditional place 


settings and Christmas, or Yule, 
decorations (this was a Yule feast) 
including cedar boughs from the 
Tannenbaum and strange (to the eyes 
of impressionable students) wooden 
figurines from Germany. These 
figurines were unique. One was an 
incense burner that looked like a little 
German toy peddlar with smoke 
billowing out of his mouth, and the 
other was a Nusnacher, or 


nutcracker si mi lar to the one depicted 
in Tschikovsky's Nutcracker Suite 

After timidly sampling small 
portions of each dish which made its 
way down the Yule table, particularly 
the Liver-Noodle Soup, it was not long 
before "seconds.” “thirds” and even 
“fourths” were requested. Everyone 
mounded his plate over until the 
bottom of the plate was discovered 
about 30 minutes later. Feeling quite 
satisfied after our long wait to sample 
these peculiar German concoctions, 
everyone agreed that we must do this 
again sometime and invite more 
people to join us. If interested, contact 
Richard Saas at 8721, President of the 
German Club, or Goetz Seifert at 7423. 
No prior knowledge of German is 
required for joining the German Club. 

The German students who 
participated in the German Cook-off 
include the following: Sylvia Guerra. 
Betty-ann Stafford, Sandi Pulley, 
David Mowbray. Carla Jones, Jeff 
Kirkpatrick, Barry Campbell. Mark 
Minor and Jon Ivins. Mike Link. 
Cornelia Seifert and Goetz Seifert 
were head cooks. 

Here are the ingredients of two 
recipes the German Club enjoyed 
which anyone can make, as long as he 
converts from metric to Standard: 


Spatzle (Noodle Sauce) 

600 grams white flour 
some salt 
2 eggs 

3/8 liter water 
some butter 


Food-good, wholesome and plenty 
of it was the motto behind a rare treat 
that the German Club (Die Deutschen 
Kartoffelpuffer, literally “the German 
potato puffs’) experienced Nov. 29 in 
Gooch Hall's Super Kitchen, Room 
310. This evening held the fun of 
preparing a typical German full 
course meal under the supervision of 
some excellent, authentic German 
cooks. 

The German Club, with Goetz 
Seifert, German professor and 
advisor,planned and thoroughly 
enjoyed making real German recipes 
come to life before their very eyes. This 
enterprise was masterminded by 
Conelia Seifert, professor Seifert's 
wife and Mike Link,a German student 
with fine cooking talents. 

The party of 10 students and three 
supervisory chefs got to work on the 
menu at 6:30 and were stHTpOtting it 
together at 10:80. The menu included 
Liver-Noodle Soup (not as bad as it 
first strifes you), Gulash with spatzie, 
or a kind of german-style noodle, Red 
Cabbage Salad. Cucumber Salad, 
Marinated Tomatoes and a type of 
salad consisting of lettuce served with 
a tasty lemon sauce. To top this off, the 
club prepared a special German 
almond cookie with a rich buttery taste 
for desert and a zesty spiced tea. 
Believe it or not, all of these dishes 
proved to be delicious and had 
different tastes that ordinary 
Americans just don’t get everyday. It 
could have been worse, they could have 
prepared eel soup, and blood sausage. 
Now that's a treat 

Every memoer ot the German uuo 


After the feast, the German Club 
slowly removed themselves from the 
table and all pitched in to clean up and 
put back in order the Super Kitchen. It 
was amazing how many dishes were 
used in preparing and eating the food. 
Professor Seifert later commented 
that this cooking was a good way for 
the Club to work together and to try 
things that are different. “By doing 
this we grow intelligently toward the 
culture, including the food, of the 
German-speaking people in the 
world.” We learned outside of a 
classroom about the culture of other 
people in this diversified and exciting 
world. 


The German Club enjoyed a 
scrumptious Yule feast Nov. 29 with 
a full-course authentic Deutsch 
treat in Gooch Hall. German cuisine 
fit for a Burgomeister was enjoyed 
by participants who planned and 
cooked the meal consisting of the 
following: Liver Noodle Soup, 
Gulash with Spatzel (noodle sauce). 
Green Cucumber Salad, Red 
Cabbage Salad, Marinated 
Tomatoes, Lemon-coated lettuce. 
Butter-almond cookies and Spice 
Tea. Those pictured include, left to 
right: Sylvia Guerra, Sandi Pulley, 
Jon Ivins, Betty-Ann Stafford, Mike 
Link, Cornelia Seifert, Goetz 
Seifert, and Barry Campbell. Those 
not pictured include Jeff 
Kirkpatrick, Carla Jones and Mark 
Minor. 


Blood drive 


The blood donating process 
usually lasts about an hour and 
includes a medical interview, iron 
and blood pressure tests and 
refreshments along with the actual 
donation. 

“We urge everyone to come out 
and give blood, especially those 
that have never donated,” Ward 
concluded. “The campus has 
supported the drive enormously 
when A Phi 0 sposnored it in the 
past and we hope that this drive is 
no exception.”

250 grams calfs liver 
medium-sized onion

PACER DELI 


There is no set time limit, so play can 
continue indefinitely or until a set time 
limit is decided or a certain number of 
points is reached, such as 20. 

By the way, hoatzin means a 
peculiar South American bird, 
smaller than a pheasant, with olive- 
colored plumage. Now you can add one 
more word to your amazing 
vocabulary! 

That’s all there is to it! We welcome 
any suggestions of games anytime at 
the Pacer office, University Center 


To play Dictionary, everyone in the 
group is given pencil and paper and 
something thick to write upon, such as 
a book or piece of plywood. Make sure 
that other players cannot see what 
anyone else is writing. One person is 
given a dictionary and is allowed to 
select a word he or she believes no one 
in the group knows. If anyone does 
know the meaning of the word, he 
should say so and state the word’s 
meaning. If not, every person writes as 
logical a definition to the unfamiliar 
word as possible. The person with the 
dictionary does not tell what the real 
meaning of the word is, but should 
write down the meaning just as the 
others but leaving a fairly loose 
definition that is accurate, but does not 
include every single item of a normal 
dictionary meaning, such as 
etymologies, pronunciation and 
extremely technical meanings-sort of 
a glossing over-but no more. 

For instance, the strange word 
hoatzin has an extremely technical 
definition, but I am only taking out a 
certain amount so it will not sound too 
much like a dictionary and give it 
away. While everyone else is thinking 
of a plausible meaning to that word, I 
would write this and conceal it so no 
snoopy person would read what I just 
wrote. Most answers tend to range 
from erudite and sublime to moronic, 
but you never know-sometimes the 
most bizarre definition is the true one. 


After doing this, each person folds ms 
paper and passes it along to the 
dictionary-holder to read. Once all are 
received, the dictionary person should 
number each and read each definition 
in order to the group while keeping as 
straight a face as possible. 

After all definitions are read twice, 
each person except for the dictionary- 
hold votes on which definition sounds 
the most logical (or illogical), by the 
number in which the meanings were 
called out: such as number 3. 

Scoring follows this pattern: for 
each person who correctly guessed the 
right definition, he or she receives one 
point: for each person whose false 
definition was voted on by any others) 
receives one point for each vote. If a 
dictionary holder is fortunate enough 
for no one to correctly guess his true 
definition, he or she gets all the points 
of every member playing-for 
instance, if nine people are playing 
including the dictionary-holder, he 
would receive eight points. 

Play continues in the same manner 
previously stated with play passing to 
the next person on the original 
dictionary-holder’s left and continuing 
the same pattern. The former 
dictionary-holder must come up with a 
meaning to the word the next person 
finds, just like the othersdid for him or 
her.

In keeping with the general trend of 
last week's game, Botticelli, here is 
another mental-type game that is a lot 
of fun, I think. This is one oldie-goldie 
that, surprisingly, not many people 
have ever heard of: the name of the 
game Is, succinctly. Dictionary. 

The only things needed for this game 
is, naturally, a dictionary, paper and 
pencil (or pen). The rules are 
exceptionally simple, and this is a 
great way to build up an astounding 
vocabulary, if nothing else. 

Dictionary is played by three or 
more people, and the object is to outwit 
one's opponents by coming up with 
original, logical, dictionary-sounding 
meanings to words most people of 
above-average vocabulary skills have 
never heard of. Sound interesting? It 
is not as hard or weird as it sounds! 
Depending on the personalities and/or 
sillinesses of the players, this can be 
one hilarious game. For instance, 
before I attempt to explain the rules to 
Dictionary, try thinking of possible 
meanings to this word: hoatzin, 
without consulting your friendly 
Webster. 

As the saying goes, this may seem 
like trying “to Kill a dead chicken.” 
That is not meant tb be a hint as to 
What a hoatzin is, just an expression, 
okay?

Founder’s Day 1983 


Delta’s Impact on the Eighties' 


TODAY TO SHAPE TOMOEROV 



Prepare Today to Shape Tomorrow 

Dr. Yvonne Kennedy was *uest speaker at Delta Si*ma Theta Fonder * 
Day last Saturday. Dr. Kennedy urged the Deltas to “be about the business of 
pursing excellence.” 


BY KEELY DAMRON 
Student Writer 

As a time to reflect and 
commemorate the achievements of the 
late Martin Luther King Jr. and the 22 
founders of their sorority. Delta Sigma 
Theta Sorority. Inc.. Eta Xi Chapter, 
celebrated their thirteenth annual 
Founder's Day on UTM's campus last 
Saturday afternoon. 

1983 marks the 70th year of the 
National Delta Sigma Theta Sorority; 
therefore, to highlight this 
anniversary event, Dr Yvonne 
Kennedy, a noted politician, civic 
leader and the first vice-president in 
the Delta's National sorority, became 
the guest speaker. 

After a public reception at the 
chancellor's residence, hosted by 
Chancellor and Mrs. Charles E. Smith, 
a Founder's Day Program was held in 
the Univesity Center Ballroom. 


Corresponding with the theme of the 
day. "Delta's Impact on the Eighties 
Prepare Today to Shape Tomorrow,*' 
Kennedy challenged the audience not 
only to receive dreams from past 
leaders but to venture into the 
unknown and to leave a dream for 
future children and generations. 

"We can best pay tribute to our 
founders by continuing to develop 
their work," said Kennedy, an 
Alabama State Representative. She 
urged young black Americans not to 
be like Rip Van Winkle and allow time 
to march on while they are nestled in 
their sleep of dreams. Blacks must 
continue the spirit of Martin Luther 
King Jr. and ‘be about the business of 
pursuing excellence.” 

As a distinguished political and civic 
leader in Mobile, Alabama Kennedy 
was questioned about her support of 
George Wallace, a formerly renowned 
racist, in the past gubernatorial 
campaign. 


Kiesling wins national FFA award 


Bv DAPHNA PHILLIPS 
Student Writer 


“It is proven that the Future 
Farmers of America is one of the best 
leadership training programs in the 
nation." said Dr. LeeRoy W. Kiesling. 
UTM professor of agricultural 
education and recipient of the FFA 
Legion of Merit Award. 

The award, based upon active 
leadership, personal effort and 
initiative in building the state FFA 
Alumni Association membership, was

Bennett’s 


UNION CITY, TENN. 


recently presented to UTM's chairman 
of Secondary Education and Related 
Services at the Eleventh Anniversary 
National FFA Alumni Association 
meeting held in conjunction with the 
National FFA Convention in Kansas 
City. Mo. 

Kiesling. president of the Tennessee 
FFA Alumni Association, encourages 
participation in the association “in 
order to help develop a unified support 
and service for vocational 
agriculture.” 

According to Kiesling. the purpose 
of the Tennessee FFA Alumni 
Association is to promote FFA and its 
activities and to charter new affi bates. 
In the past year. Kiesling has helped 
charter the Chester County, Obion 
County, and Milan chapters. 


Kiesling is quick to praise 
Tennessee's FFA participants, saying 
that “FFA members of Tennessee have 
dominated in national awards, 
receiving more than their share." 

As vocational agriculture teacher 
and FFA representative. Kiesling 
fulfills responsibilities on the UTM 
campus such as hosting the annual 
West Tennessee FFA Agriculture 
Mechanical Contest, hosting every 
third year the West Tennessee FFA 
Awards Banquet and providing 20-36 
days per year of in-service training for 
vocational agriculture teachers. 

Although he is usually involved 
heavily in the planning and 
development of activities in the 
agriculture department, Kiesling said 


modestly that he played only a small 
part in the planning of the agriculture 
pavilion, and that, besides the pavilion, 
he does not foresee any major changes 
or developments for the department. 

A vocational agriculture teacher 
before he came to UTM in 1971, 
Kiesling received his bachelor’s 
degree from Texas Technological 
University in Lubbock, Texas, his 
master's degree from Sul Ross State 
University in Alpine. Texas, and his 
educational doctoral degree from 
Oklahoma State University in 
Stillwater. Okla. 

He is the commander of American 
Legion Post 56 in Martin and a 
member of Trinity Presbyterian 
Church. 


Although not intially a supporter of 
Wallace, she feels that he was the beet 
choice for governor at the time. 
Kennedy feels that Wallace has 
changed and hopes that he will have as 
much influence on integration as he 
did on segregation in the 1960’s. 

“We must be big enough people to 
allow others a second chance to prove 
they have changed," stated Kennedy. 

Kennedy explained that she has 
already been encouraged by Wallace's 
recent decisions to appoint black 
Alabama leaders to government posts. 

President of S.D. Bishop State 
Junior College. Kennedy stresses the 
importance of education in the future 
of black Americans. 

“It used to be that a college degree 
was a license to get a job and lead a 
productive life; now an undergraduate 
degree is a license to get another 
degree.” 

Kennedy felt that difficulties should 
be taken as challenges, not barriers. 
As students, Americans, and 
individuals, she said that we should not 
only give of ourselves, but we shouia 
give the best of ourselves. 

As a challenge to the Deltas, 
Kennedy closed by quoting Robert 
Frost, “But 1 have promises to keep, 
and miles to go before I sleep.” 

Attending the program were Delta 
Sigma Theta alumnae from Jackson 
and Memphis, as well as friends and 
families of the active members. 

Also in attendance were Dr. Phillip 
Watkins, vice-chancellor for student 
affairs; Dr. Milton Simmons, vice- 
chancellor for academic affairs; Dr. 
Ron Satz. dean of graduatestudies and 
research; Billie Ann Pace, director of 
career services and Panhellenic 
advisor; James Hamilton, Martin 
NAACP president; Clara Hamilton, 
Martin NAACP secretary; and Brad 
Hurley, SGA president 

After the program, an open banquet 
was held in the University Center.

Robotics age predicted by King 


BY PATSY BOWEN 
Student Writer 

Computer-aided manufacturing has 
been found to increase productivity 
and give greater design freedom, in 
areas in which it has been used, 
according to Hulas King, sectional 
manager at the St. Louis branch of the 
McDonald-Douglas Aircraft Co. 

King spoke in the Humanities 
Auditorium on Jan. 18 under the 
auspices of the Academic Speaker 
program. 

Explaining the basic uses of 


computers and computer technology 
in today’s complex manufacturing 
scheme, King said that computers 
today are used to design new aircraft 
and complete final assembly, and all 
the intermediate steps. 

“We are rapidly moving into the 
robotics age.” emphasized King. “But 
we must learn how to program these 
robots to do what we want them to do so 
that we won’t have to spend the time or 
money teaching them.” 

Computer terminals may now be 
transported to a machine and a 


programmer may change the 
machine's function through the 
formulation of a new computer 
program, a process that previously 
required up to three to four weeks to 
complete but may now be done in 15 
minutes, says the manager. 

King concluded that we have to 
develop people and software that cap 
tell the hardware what to do and he 
encourage those in the computer field 
to invest their time in developing the 
skills necessary to accomplish this 
goal.

yourself on your feet yelling. 


By TOM HANCOCK 
Pacer Basketball 
Coach 


"rtte 1962-83 Pacer basketball team 
is a team of which the University 
community can be particularly proud. 
These young men play with great 
intensity and pride--pride in 
themselves and in UTM. 

To win, there are certain things this 
has to do every time on the court. The 
players know what those things are. 
know what their roles on the team are. 
and are performing well in those roles. 

One of the things we have to do is get 
the ball up and down the court. That 
makes for an exciting brand of 
basketball, a brand you will enjoy 
watching, and a brand that has the 
Pacers averaging 84.6 points a game. 
Ask those who have attended home 
games if they enjoyed themselves. To 
a person, 1 think you will find they did. 

We are 11-0 at home this season and 
the crowd has made that record 
possible. It is an unbelievable help to 
the team when you have a supportive 
crowd. The crowd was a big factor in 
our loss at Livingston University, 64- 
61, and the crowd has been a major 
factor in some of our wins at home.

breaking his old marks and changing 
the other one.

John Ford, and freshmen Willie 
Forbes and Ben Hendriex also played

He will not be forgotten 


BY LIZ COBLE 
Sports Editor 

Darrell Anders, one of the top high school basketball players in Southern 
Illinois, signed a letter of intent last November to come to UTM. 

But becauseof a rare form of viral meningitis which took his life Monday. 
Anders will never be able to play Pacer basketball as he planned. 

Coach Hancock had announced Anders’ illness at last Saturday night’s 
game and asked for those attending to pray for Anders' recovery, citing 
him as an outstanding man and athlete. 

Monday night, UTM officials announced to the crowd that Anders had 
died and amoment of silent prayer was observed prior to the playing of the 
basketball game. 

“Some of the players knew Darrell and were looking forward to having 
him here. He was excited about coming to UTM, about wearing a Pacer 
uniform, and about playing in this arena. It's something which will take a 
long time to get over. I am not sure that I ever completely will,” Hancock 
said.

Honor society makes changes 


By BETH SPANGLER 
Student Writer 

Thirty-five students with a grade 
point average of 3.5 or better after the 
completion of their freshman year 
were initiated Nov. 22, 1982. into Phi 
Eta Sigma, a National College 
Scholastic Honor Society which 
rewards high scholastic achievement 
among freshmen. 

According to faculty advisor. Dr. 
Harry Hutson. “Phi Eta Sigma is 
dedicated to the promotion of learning 
and high academic achievement" 

In the past, initiation was based on 
the students' grade point average after 
their first quarter of school, but as 
Hutson explained last week, “For the 
first time, the initiation in November 
was based on the grades after the 
completion of the entire freshman 
year." 

Marcia Crofford. president of 
UTM’s chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, 
stated that the reason for the change in 
procedure was enacted in order to gain 
a more long range perspective of the 
students’ capabilities. 

'The new requirement is more 
indicative of what a student's 
remaining college career will entail 
because often times the first quarter 
doesn’t truly represent the students’ 
academic ability,” said Crofford. 

Speaking of the organization’s 


upcoming events, Crofford explained 
that, “96 additional qualified students, 
who were overlooked because they 
lived off campus, will be invited to 
membership and initiated during 
winter quarter.” 

According to Dr. Hutson, “Phi Eta 
Sigma's goal is to stimulate academic 
scholarship, to encourage and reward, 
and to recognize good grades and 
achievement." Hutson praised the new 
initiates as being UTM's examples of 
the national society’s high standard of 


achievement. 

The November initiates are as 
follows: Brenda T. Ball. Stephanie 
Carol Barnhill, Kelly Lane Blair, 
Gregory Alan Box, Laura Ann Chunn, 
Casey Stuart Crichfield.

UTM Badminton Club finishes well 


By REGINALD WILLIAMS 
SGA Sec. of Comm. 

The UTM Badminton Club 
participated in the Memphis 
Intercollegiate Badminton Tourna¬ 
ment at Memphis State University 
this past weekend. Only five members 
went and UTM made a good showing. 

In the men’s singles, UTM's Nobumi 
Takemura won the men’s singles 
consolation final by defeating his 
opponent 21 to 9. The longest and one of 
the most exciting matches of the 
evening was when UTM’s Reggie 
Williams defeated Chuck Hester, a 27- 


year-old student from State Technical 
Institute. Reggie later lost to 
Lloyd Freeman by 12-15 and 8-16 in 
the men’s singles championship. 
Lloyd, a native of Nashville, went on to 
win the men’s singles championship. 

UTM's Miwako Tanaka finished 
second when she lost the women's 
singles championship 7-11 and 0-11 to 
a young lady from Texas. 

In men's doubles. Reggie Williams 
and William Duncan were eliminated 
in the quarter-finals but UTM’s other 
men's doubles team made it to the 
semi-finals-Masaaki Shinozaki and 
Nobumi Takemura. They were 


defeated in the semi-finals by a team 
who also went ahead to win the 
championship. 

In mixed doubles, our only team.

“Hello UTM’’... 


We’re just so darn happy about the opening 
of our new clothing outlet, we feel like 
boasting about how great our store is—but 
we’re much too modest for that. Oh, sure we 
could be like all the others and brag about the 
tremendous amounts you will save with our 
everyday low prices of 50% to 80% OFF 
normal retail prices. And of course we could 
go on and on about our wide assortment of 
men’s and women’s dress and casual 
buttondown shirts, UTM shirts, pullovers, 
sweatshirts, jogging clothes, etc., but we won’t 
because people already expect to find first 
quality merchandise in our store. We could 
also pitch to ROTC students about finding 
uniform shirts at low prices or with spring 
coming up soon, we could hint around about 
the new line of swimwear and Adidas 
warmups that will be coming in. But we won’t 
say anything about that either. All we ask is 
that you drop by and see for yourself what 
saving is all about. 

—Thanks.

What's In Store ? 


ESP, pasta and magic to highlight January 


By LESLIE HAYWOOD 
Student Writer 

The last week* of January are 
packed with activities designed to 
entertain and uplift the student 
population as the winter quarter rolls 
on. 

The 1983 Miss UTM Pageant. Jan. 
21 and 22. kicks off the series of 
January activities as reigning queen 
Celia Caruthers relinquishes her 
crown to one of 30 hopeful contestants. 
The pageant, beginning at 7:30 p.m. 
both Friday and Saturday nights, will 
take place in the Harriet Fulton 
Performing Arts Theater. 

The entertainment continues Jan. 
28. with the Fifth Annual All-Niter, 
co-sponsored by Campus Recreation 


and V incent Wholesale Distributors. 

The All-Niter, beginning at ‘t p.m., 
includes regular planned activities 
ranging from a putt-putt golf 
tournament to an hour of rappelling 
down the main arena wall of the P.E. 
Complex, along with many more 
events. 

However, this year’s activity 
includes two “outstanding events’ that 
will make this All-Niter more 
exciting, according to David Belote. 
assistant director of Campus 
Recreation. 

Tom DeLuca. a hypnotist will be one 
of the main attractions at the All- 
Niter. His exceptional talent is used 
"purely for entertainment and 
comedy," Belote said. DeLuca’s act 
includes a segment on -BSP-his own 


Band Gets Second Chance 


Turntable Talk 

Duran Duran is a kind of rare 
success story that seldom occurs in the 
entertainment business. Rejected by 
every major record company, Duran 
Duran made a video to one of their 
songs, “Girls on Film.” and presented 
it to a fledgling MTV. MTV eagerly 
snatched it up and began to air iL It 
quickly became one of their hottest 
videos and caught the attention of 
Capitol Records. Now Duran Duran's 
new album, “Rio,” is catching everyone 
else’s attention. 

Duran Duran’s style certainly 
doesn't sound very strange, yet it is a 
very difficult one from which to draw a 
comparison. Their music has been 
described as “slightly off-the-wall 
rock,” which could be as good a 
description as can be made. Although 
Duran Duran is often placed with new 
wave, rock seems to be the most 
suitable category for the band. 

The single from “Rio" is “Hungry 
Like the Wolf." It is already beginning 


by Dart Jones 

to cause quite a sensation and is almost 
certain to become a major hit in the 
near future. 

The title track, “Rio," and “My Own 
Way” are both fun, free-flowing songs 
that a person can really enjoy. They 
implement a nicely-paced rhythm 
which gives the songs enough 
versatility to function from dance 
music to music one can relax to. 

Other songs that are on the upbeat 
side of “Rio” are “Hold Back the Rain," 
and “New Religion.” 

On a more sedate order are the songs 
“Lonely in Your Nightmare,” “Last 
Chance on the Stairway,” “Save a 
Prayer," and “The Chauffeur." “The 
Chauffeur” is the best representative 
from this group. The music has a 
haunting effect and the vocals invoke a 
sense of desperate frustration. 

“Rio” is a good album, but not a great 
one. One thing it does accomplish, 
however, it gives Duran Duran the 
respect they deserve. B. 


take-off on ESP. and a hilarious 
demonstration of stage hypnosis using 
volunteers from the audience. Belote 
continued. 

Two performances of the show, 
billed by Newsweek magazine as “one 
of the most requested on college 
campuses today," will be given The 
first show will start at 8 p.m. and the 
second performance will begin at 
midnight. 

Mountain Visions, the other main 
attraction, is a multi-screen slide 
presentation accompanied by a unique 
sound system. The show is s visual 
re-creation and production of many 


wilderness expeditions taken by the 
creators of the show, Gary Grimm and 
Katy Flanagan. 

Two performances will be shown, 
said Belote. One will start at 10 p.m. 
and the second showing will be at 1 
a.m. The "mammoth" screen, he said, 
is 14 feel high and 36 feet wide, and it 
will be set up in the north end of the 
main arena in the complex. 

Belote feels very optimistic about 
the turn-out for this year's All-Niter. 
“We have always had great 
participation, but I think this year will 
be even better,” he said. 

Planned activities in January will 


close out the month with a SGA- 
sponaored “All You Can Eat Spaghetti 
Supper" on Jan. 31. Participants will 
enjoy good food and will be entertained 
by “one of the most popular touring 
college acts of the country." according 
to Belote. 

The "Amazing Johnathan,” a 
popular comedian from San 
Francisco, combines magic and 
comedy in an R-rated show designed to 
keep everyone laughing. Belote said. 

Along with the show at UTM, the 
“Amazing Johnathan" will also be 
performing at MTSU, Austin Peay, 
and Memphis State during his tour 


The supper, which can be charged 
with the food service charge card, will 
cost $3.50 and will include salad bar. 
beverage, and of course, spaghetti, 
according to Belote. 

It's such a good deal," Belote said 
"All you are buying is the meal-which 
is roughly what you would pay for a 
similar dinner at local restaurants- 
the price does not include the 
entertainment," he said. 

Belote advised that those interested 
should buy tickets in advance due to 
limited space. “There will only be 400 
tickets available." he said. “This is all 
we can fit in the ballroom." 



The Amazing Who? 


Who is the Amazing Johnathan? 
Where is he from? What does he do? 

What has he done? Those are most of 
the questions that are baffling many 
students' minds around the campus 
about the Amazing Johnathan. But by 
the time you get through reading this 
article you will be convinced that it is 


obstruction of public property. During 
one arrest, he escaped from police 
hand-cuffs. Needless to say, the 
policeman wasn’t as pleased as the 
audience. 

With loads of experience and cops on 
his back, Johnathan showcased his 
talents in nightclubs. It wasn’t long 


Johnathan 


worth your while to go see him. 

Growing up in Detroit makes it a 
wonder how Johnathan acquired his 
unique sense of humor; however, if you 
trace back through his career you will 
see his first love was magic and not 
comedy. Johnathan’s career on the 
West coast was almost accidental. 
While in California, his means of 
making money were cut off so. with 
only three dollars, he bought rope, 
playing cards, and stayed in San 
Francisco to become a well-known 
street performer. As the crowds grew 
larger during some ten shows a day, 
Johnathan was sometimes arrested for 


before he received national attention 
by performing in top-notch 
entertainment. 

Now at the age of 23, Johnathan is 
himself a headliner in clubs and 
colleges all over America. A magician, 
a juggler and a comedian, don't you 
dare miss the Amazing Johnathan at 
the All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti 
Supper. Admission is $3.50 using your 
Food Service Charge Card Jan. 31 at 6 
p.m. in the University Center 
Ballroom. Remember, the perform¬ 
ance will be absurd, ridiculous and 
Rated R. This is an SGA production. 


Badfinger rocks the Oz with old and new 


By LESLIE HAYWOOD 
Student Writer 

The late sixties and the early 
seventies appear to be high points in 
the music industry concerning the 
evolution of rock and roll. Several 
bands broke records in sales with their 
popularity, while leaving lasting 
impressions on the youth growing up 
during this time. 

Many memories surrounding bands 
such as The Beatles and the Rolling 
Stones are recalled by many. 
Everyone knows what happened when 
the times changed and these sensations) 
crowd pleasers began to take separate 
paths or forge on to become even 
bigger and better stars in the music 
world. 


However, what ever happened to all 
those other rock and roll bands who 
enjoyed much success during those 
formative years? Many disappeared 
into other areas leaving entertainment 
to others. Yet, many trudged along 
trying to once again reach the listeners 
and the fans they had. 

The band. Badfinger. is a perfect 
example. 

Badfinger, a rock and roll success 
that followed the Beatles out of 
England, enjoyed much success in the 
early seventies, which culminated in 
their biggest and last year in 1975. 

The band produced hits such as 
“Baby Blue,” “Day After Day," and 
“Come And Get It" during these years. 
Success was very real until the 


tragic death of Peter Hamm, one of the 
stronger influences in the band. The 
band members shock concerning 
Hamm's suicide in addition to legal 
problems in 1975 finally broke the 
band apart. 

However, Joey Molland, one of the 
vocalists in the group decided to forge 
ahead. After several years of 
revamping and experimenting, 
Molland recruited experienced 
musicians and began again. 

Now, the new Badfinger is on tour 
and going strong. In their recent tour, 
the band was booked to play at the OZ, 
the local disco. 

Last Wednesday night found the 
side of the OZ, formally the 
Rendezvous, bustling with activity as 

Badfinger's road crew set up the 
equipment. They ran into several 
problems after a road crew member c' 
Mirage, the warm-up band, dropped a 
beverage onto the mixer causing it to 
malfunction. However, they corrected 
the problems and Badfinger burst into 
action. 

Joey Molland, the 35-year-old 
English singer, launched into “Baby 
Blue,” to start the show. Adrian 
Russell on keyboards, Rick “the Hat” 
Reid on bass, and Steve Craiter on 
drums belted out the back up while the 
audience, who were old enough to 


remember Badfinger in its prime, 
cheered their approval. 

Along with the well-known hits that 
identify the band, the new Badfinger 
treated the crowd to many of their 
latest productions. 

Yet, while the band is enjoying some 
success, they appear ready for a 
for a change, according to Molland. 

“We are a new band, but just as good 
as Badfinger was before,” he said. 

Therefore, after this tour which 


The Movie Scene 

Okay. okay. Chariots of Fire did 
win the Best Picture Academy Award 
last year. I’ll give it that. And, in its 
own laid-back British fashion, it is a 
good film. But the key word is good- 
not great. Not by any means. And for it 
to win the top Oscar over a 
monumental achievement like Reds 
shows just how useless the Academy 
really is. 


includes stops in Atlanta Birming¬ 
ham, Miami, and more, the band 
Badfinger will shake its identity with 
the past and start fresh with a new 
name. 

“There were too many bad vibes 
with the old band,” said Rick Ried, 
referring to Hamm's death and other 
problems. 

Molland realizes that the crowds 
will still request the well-known 
material, yet he wants to show the 
public that the new band has its own 
sound. 


Chariots of Fire tells the story of 
two 1920s British runners-one an 
Orthodox Jew forced to contend with 
anti-Semitism, the other a missionary 
who feels that God wants him to race, 
otherwise he wouldn't be gifted to do 
so. They both make it into the 
Olympics, in the process overcoming 
their own personal obstacles. 

With a plotline as comparatively 
mundane as this, the film obviously 
has to be carried on its style. In this 
case, the style is typically British- 
polite, restrained, never working up 
much emotional energy. Sort of the 
sports equivalent of Kubrick's 2001: A 
Space Odyssey. It's this lack of 
originality that bothers me most about 
the film, and it says a lot that 
American audiences can be so 
impressed by what is really a generic 
British film. 

The actors, bless their hearts, try 
their best to give their characters some 
true emotional fire, but they are 
hampered by Hugh Hudson's plodding 
direction. Even the actual racing 
scenes are done primarily in slow 
motion, as if to make sure they don't 
clue the audience in on how slow the 
rest of the film really is. Another 
problem with the characters is that 
they all look and sound alike. You're a 
half-hour into the film before you 
begin to figure out who's who. It 
doesn't help, either, that all the 
characters not only have the same 


“When our name is Badfinger, 
everyone only wants to hear the old 
stuff,” he said. We don’t want to be 
known only for what we did before.” 

The new name of the band, Spare 
Parts, will be adopted after this tour 
and will appear on their forthcoming 
album to be released in June. 

“It takes lots of time and money to 
make the band sound good,” 
interjected Molland. "Basically, we 
are hoping to make money now as 
Badfinger. and go from there,” he 
said.

British accent, but even the same 
haircut (kind of like All My 
Children). Maybe this wasn’t a 
problem in Britain, but it can give an 
American viewer hell. 

The music by Vangelis is yet another 
problem. Perhaps if it hadn’t been 
pounded into our brains by the radio 
for six months, it wouldn’t be so 
irritating, but the music is so...austere 
that it’s ridicu Inns. Y angelis is capable 
of much better (i.e„ hisscore for Blade 
Runner), and even though this music 
won an Oscar, too. it still doesn't make 
it a good score. 

The only truly impressive aspect of 
the production is the art direction. The 
era of the Twenties is faithfully 
recreated in the sets, the props and the 
costumes; not since Barry Lyndon 
has an era's flavor been captured so 
well. But then again, the art direction 

was Barry Lyndon's strong point, 
too. 

It’s really infuriating to see such a 
totally safe film as Chariots of Fire 
win its industry’s top award. Personal 
Best, a film dealing with much the 
same topic, and in a much more 
interesting and emotional manner, 
was ignored at the Oscars, even though 
most critics found it excellent. If the 
Academy continues this trend toward 
films that touch the lowest common 
denominator, then this year's Best 
Picture will probably be Friday the 
13th Part 3.
